Play Group

Here's a picture of Kellen with some of the babies from our playgroup. (I stole this picture from Leslie's blog.)



There are three mobile kids that didn't make it into the picture. Imagine what it will be like when all seven are on the move!

New Hat

Kellen and I were supposed to go to a corn maze and pumpkin patch today. In anticipation of chilly weather I bought him this hat.



However, he woke up in the middle of the night with a stuffy nose. I didn't want him out in the wind all day, so we went to the scrapbook store instead. That's just as fun, right?

Political Junkie

Check out this interview!

"Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have."

Thomas Jefferson or Gerald Ford (apparently it's up for debate. . . but regardless, it's a good quote)

Craftiness

Another bag



and an apron.



It is pleated with a pocket and a towel loop.



I took my picture in the mirror, since no one was home. :)

7 Things

I have been tagged and am supposed to share 7 random/silly/strange facts about myself. . . thanks Amity.


1. I slept with a stuffed monkey, named Mervyn, until 13 months ago, when he ripped. :-( It was a SAD day. (I'm not sure Tandon would agree though.)


2. I drink 8 oz of lemonade every day at 3pm in an attempt to prevent another kidney stone. I'll let you know how that works out!


3. I hate to drive! I avoid it at all cost.


4. I have only filled up my car with gas about 3 times since Tandon and I got married in 2005. Every time it gets low, he takes care of it. Thanks babe!!


5. I secretly wish that some morning my alarm radio would come on and say, "We have a 'snow day' for Shawn. Please go back to bed and sleep in. Then curl up with a good book for the rest of the day." Too bad kids don't come with 5 built-in snow days!!


6. My love of animals is out of control. I often cry more in movies about animals then I do in movies about people. I attempt to rescue any and all stray animals I see on the side of the road. HOWEVER, when I get a gun in my hands I seem to forget about that love. I shot one prairie dog and two rabbits in my inlaw's pasture. I even helped Tandon shoot some sick kittens. My secret's out!!!! I guess that disqualifies me for president of PETA.


7. Speaking of animals, when I was little I thought animals were really adult humans. When people would ask "what do you want to be when you grow up?" I seriously thought that I could pick any animal and become it. Sadly, I soon discovered that question meant something far different. I would have made a great Golden Retriever!


I now tag Shanna, Caitlin (now you have to update your blog:)), and Janet.

For All the JBUers

Dan and Mel came to visit last weekend. I hadn't seen them in over 2 years. We had a good time hanging out. Wish they lived closer!!


Here are a few pictures of them with their two precious children.
